Some type of material, usually used for paintings or sculpture that wasn't bought, but was obtained in other ways, such as dumpster diving, chance findings, donations or especially, stealing. Example: concrete blocks used for bookcases, "found" wood for skateboard ramps, couches and mattresses left out on the curb. This word traces back to about 1962 from a place called "Drop City," an alternative hippy commune before there was such a thing, located in Southern Colorado (cofounder: Clark Richert).
Obtainium was used to describe the stolen and thrown away wood and metal cartops used to build the Ggodesic domes they lived and worked in. An entire geodesic dome cost in materials came to about $20. Probably for the nails!
It also described the materials that they painted with and on.

This house is made with 100% pure obtainium; nothing used here was bought new... or even bought, for that matter.
